The bottom is lifted with the block and tackle. This was one of those exciting times like starting down a ski jump or going into rapids.



Epoxy-soaked, gooed and epoxy clock is ticking, waiting for the bottom to be lowered onto stringers and transom.

Removing the screws before the epoxy is set too much was sometimes a pre-dawn job.

Half of a side panel is glassed and ready to hang.







Attaching the sides to the bow stem


I had to epoxy the plywood to equalize the differences between the soft and hard grains.


Scraping the raised grain after the first coat of epoxy helped level it out.

I love to sand.

 


Smooth hull, glassed and sanded, ready for next steps
